You are being drawn in and fooled by hand waving semantics.
Satoshi did not foresee the rise of ASICs.
But "validating nodes" were the response of the MARKET to combat the centralization caused by ASIC mining. If consensus did not DISCONNECT itself from mining then the Bitcoin Network would have already centralized, and consensus, and validity of all the transactions would be in the hands of a smaller and smaller group, and eventually they would be able to rewrite the rules to suit their own desires. This is EXACTLY what CSW is trying to do! You do realize that CSW is trying to get the COURTS to order the developers to rewrite the code of Bitcoin to release the Satoshi Blocks to him, don't you?
The only reason this has not yet happened with BCH and BSV is nobody really uses them.
Watch Ethereum, the legacy big blocker chain with actual use. They are centralizing more and more. Changing the rules along the way. And destroying all credibility as they go.
I write this not because I believe you can be saved. You are either part of the deception, or too dumb to understand what is really happening.
I write it for the ONE PERSON who might read this and finally say AH HA! And stay the fuck away from the scams that these projects ultimately are.
Changing the rules AFTER the system and coins are sold to the masses is the biggest scam ever
no matter what else tech bubble here and there
the rules did say: a miner is a full node, cause does the FULL job
and yes, Satoshi did mentioned data centers
- but that does not mean P2P eCash works no longer without any centre / middle men, that centre is only getting into P2P with high fees
btc / eth just the scam of the space with all that. Changing rules and high fees
ready ?....
